Nasci sem cheiro. Uma beta destinada a servir para sempre.

Breanna
Meus pais me desprezaram desde o dia em que nasci, esperando uma ômega com um cheiro delicioso e uma marca de nascença em forma de garra.

Mas eu não nasci sem nenhum dos dois. Betas são destinados a ser servos do Complexo Alfa, comandado pelo líder da nossa matilha, Henry.

Apaixonada pelo meu pai, fugi, sem nunca esperar ver outro alfa novamente até que...

Zaff
Minha matilha precisa de uma ômega, mas desistimos disso anos atrás até que me deparei com um anúncio de limpeza e um rosto lindo para combinar.

Ela é como uma lufada de ar fresco quando entra na minha mansão, mas todos nós nos sentimos atraídos por ela. Ela não é uma ômega.

Ela não tem cheiro. No entanto, somos atraídos por ela por algum motivo misterioso. Minha matilha e eu simplesmente não conseguimos tirar as mãos dela.

Até descobrirmos o que ela realmente é...

This is just bad with enough red flags to just say no and walk away. Normally I wouldn’t give a review for books that are this bad but Ive decided to make an exception.

We follow a girl who’s been abused by her father for not being an Omega. When she’s 15, her brother was born and she decided to run away with her aunt. For 5 years, they run while she works as a maid.

When they decide it is time to run again, she meets 4 Alphaholes (not in a good way), and decides to take the risk and work for them. The Alpaholes are very interested in her and decide to dress her like their fantasy maid included a string and her breast are almost hanging out. Because she has decency and a good self esteem, she only gives in when they offer her 2000 dollars.. right.

What follows are masturbation scenes with a virgin (ofcourse, because authors only know how to do this with virgins) and another offer; they can have access to her and she has to drop everything to have sex with them anytime and in every possible position they want. In exchange for protection to her family. Now, I don’t mind an Aplahole, in the right way I can really enjoy them but this is not to right way. This is manipulating someone who has no experience, no power and no possibility to save herself or her aunt and put them in sex scenes just because you have a hard one.

Did I say these Alphaholes are not in a good way and there are massive red flags all over the way? No? Hmm… Well, hereby I’m saying it for the people who didn’t hear me in the back.

I’m surprised this book even has a 3* avarage, like how?!
For the people who want to read about Alphaholes in a good way, there are books that are not comparable with this because this is just trash and gives woman the wrong kind of ideas. It’s like watching a bad porn movie produced by men with enough disrespect to woman as if we’re still living in the 1800.

You can not convince me this book wasn’t written by AI.

The use of the word anus and butt made my tummy hurt.

Spoilers ahead because this book is just something else.

It’s your typical omegaverse story. Beta girl struggles with her designation and pines to be an omega. Falls in love with a group of alphas and surprise! She’s actually an omega. Knotting. Heats. Pregnancy. Happily ever after.


Rundown:
Starts off as her running away with her aunt, from her abusive family. They start a new life together and she starts a cleaning business as this is all she’s ever done with her life. She hides her designation and no one knows she’s a beta since they’re on the run. She gets hired by billionaire alphas and they make her dress in the skeezy maid lingerie. They proceed to do everything except have her clean the house. Some hot scenes here and there and they have her sign a contract to basically become their sex slave so they can “knot her whenever they want”. They’re surprised she doesn’t scream in pain and horror when she’s knotted since “humans” usually can’t take knots but they don’t think twice or look into the fact that she could possibly be a beta or an omega. They fall in love, she thinks it’s too good to be true, her aunt gets kidnapped by bad alphas. She goes with this random ass omega chick that quite literally pops out of the woods and says: come with me if you want to see your aunt again. Stupid girl goes in the car, no questions asked. She gets taken back to her shitty ass family and immediately starts getting abused by her dad again. Her alphas show up and they rip him to shreds and she miraculously goes into heat and becomes an omega. They get back together, her aunt is fine and she ends up married and pregnant.

Now, as predictable as all that is, what bothered me the most about this book is the dialogue. They speak to each other like teenagers. They use terms like anus, butthole, private parts, anal walls, brown hole, wiggly thighs, moderate breast size…honestly the list goes on. It’s so cringey it had me thinking: is this AI? Is this a virgin man writing these things? A 16 year old girl that got ahold of wattpad for the first?? It was honestly something else.

Honestly, it reminds me of the scene in “I Love you Man” where Paul Rudd is like: you gon take that diqqqq. You gonn take itttt. Take that deeekuh” you know what I mean.

Did I finish it? Yes. Did I enjoy it? Debatable. Will I recommend it? Probably not. Unless the person asking for recs has a “brown hole they want to sniff and shove their tongue inside” kink.

Have fun.

I can't in good conscience recommend this book. It's a mess. I can't work out if it was written by AI or a 13yo. There are so many weird, unbelievable bits and bizarre details.

I've actually made it further than I expected - I'm up to 80% - but I'm calling it here. It's been a bit like reading a train wreck, but now I just want to read something I like lol.

For those considering this, be warned that the pacing is all over the shop, the story development is inconsistent, the spice is there but pretty crap, and the MMC (Zaff) is pretty awful and manipulative. Any attempts at building a plot as well all fall apart pretty quickly too, with the main villain (Breanna's father) entering and exiting the story very quickly. The writing itself is clunky too, with odd errors (freshly heated food described as "smoking" instead of "steaming", etc).

I would say it's all just a flimsy excuse to write an erotic novel, but the smexy times are pretty underwhelming and awkward as well.

Avoid.

Every time I had convinced myself that, surely, it couldn't possibly be as bad as I imagined, one of these creepy men or terrible dialogue or the most clichéd "twist" would round the corner and plunge me back into the depths of cringe and despair again.

I dont often leave reviews, and I always try to be constructive and i think finishing any novel is such an achievement.

But i have to be honest, this was probably the most badly constructed and executed book i have ever read.

The story concept was there, but the language, phrasing, consistency and pacing were all over the shop. It honestly gave very immature vibes and i was surprised this wasn’t the authors debut novel.

The characters were shallow, under developed and honestly dislike-able. I have never felt less connection or chemistry between MCs and i actually fully forgot about one of the alphas entirely- i think he said like 3 things in the entire story. The main relationship is built on nothing but butt plugs, emotional immaturity and coercion masquerading as fate.

Great idea!! Missed the mark!!

I loved the idea, but the author didn't do well in bringing it to life. The writing was a bit FanFic vibes, and the book really needed a good edit as the plot didn't really flow well at all.

I have broken my Goodreads dry spell to speak on this interesting piece of literature that has captivated me in the most horrifying way. Although, I do thank it for its service in being the most interesting thing that has happened to me this week.

The beginning was strong enough I thought. We establish a back story, feel some of Bree’s pain and trauma and have a need as a reader to see her in better circumstances. But everything else? Off the omegaverse RAILS. And that’s saying something.

Number one, she was never even their maid? She did laundry like once. But the rest of the time everyone was just going to pound town.

None of the men had any distinctive personalities or even back stories. We know next to nothing about pretty much any of the characters. And there was also almost no storyline either.

I would like to point out a few of my favorite most egregious things though. Can we TALK about Oscar and the ass thing??? And the fact that it was eluded too that he had a fart kink??? My spirit was made to be very heavy from that fact and I will be thinking about it for weeks to come while lines of living a weathered life develop on my face. Diabolical.

Also when Bree stabbed her step father with a FORK and was shocked he didn’t die? Girlfriend, it’s a FORK?! Not a katana! Obviously he didn’t die!

Also they were supposedly werewolves but that was like pretty much not important to any of this at all.

Oh ALSO also…I loved how Zac gave her like the permanent mating mark but when she found out she was pregnant (like yeah of course you are, you’ve been rawdogging it with four dudes like 13 times a day) she wondered if that was too much commitment? I’m pretty sure he knows what he’s getting himself into, dog.

This was crazy 😭 normally I DNF books I don’t like but I couldn’t look away. Anyways, read at your own risk. 🤪

Let me start off by saying this is by NO means a literary masterpiece. I decided to read this with a friend because we saw a snippet posted in a book group. If you go into this book with low expectations you won’t be disappointed. We were laughing the whole time. Not because it was a funny story but because of the cringe worthy word choices and writing. The entire time we were reading it we couldn’t figure it the author was trying to make this a serious book or something so cringy it was funny. I’ve read a lot of bad books and had I not had a friend to laugh with while reading this one it might be the top of my list. If you want an easy, predictable book with simply written spicy scenes that will probably give you a few unintentional laughs this book is for you.

Omegaverse Story

Brianna was being mistreated by her father and so her aunt rescued her from the Alpha compound and they have been living in the human world ever since. They have been making end meet when she takes a cleaning job at an Alpha mansion.
Zaff, Oscar, Ruston and Chad are taken with Bree and think she is human when they ask her to be more than their maid and fulfill their 'other desires'. She is lured in by their Alpha auras and agreed but she soon catches feelings and is worried they will discard her soon...
There is more to this story but I'm trying to keep it spoiler free. It's a typical shifter romance with knotting and RH spice. It's not a bad story but I won't be continuing the series as it shifts to another pack and I am gonna jump genres now.

The concept was fine. And while I don’t have an issue w erotica, this was erotica and not romance.
Why? Zero focus on building relationships bt the love interests, very little background on the men and time to butt sex was zero to a$$hole. 😂👀

But that’s not my reason for a 1.5 stars rounded to 2. A for effort as all creation is good creation. This review is for readers. Not the author. ♥️

It was poorly edited, character development was weird to me and the flow was off. It didn’t read well. I wanted it to. But it just was rough to read.
There were moments that should have been profound that were just a sentence or two. And things within the story would change so abruptly I got whiplash. Like she was making this shit up as she goes-but then forgetting what she wrote.

The pack leader bit her and claimed her but then when she found out she was preg, she was scared that they would be mad? They never once said they didn’t want a baby and never once made her think she was not important once she was back with them-she KNOWS how important a claiming bite is. So why be a dumb ass. Then they decided to marry her? So. Somehow they needed to be married and then they could claim her?

It was confusing to me. Nothing was well explained. Just tossed in.
Like, oh, he can bite her and claim her.
But then-ohhhh we will get her preg and she can worry for a bit of angst for no reason at all.
Yeah. And then after THAT, we can have the alpha decide to ask her to marry them.
Totes works.
Then we can have her tell the guys she is preg on the flight to get married.
BOOM.
And THEN we can have them married and finally, randomly the rest of her simps will wake her up and bite her to claim her. Yup. Works for me. Wait. Don’t forget that there is some special kiss that signifies the alpha is claiming his wife. Even tho he already did that four chapters ago.

Ok then. It sounds like it would work but it just doesn’t. The writing is stilted at times. Other times it’s good.

RH no MM

Beta who is really an omega surprise

Alpha omega knotting
Erotica due to the amount of spice plus lack of character development and a lack of depth in the plot.

And let’s not forget. She has a pink pussy. 😝OMG once or twice fine. Or spaced out. But geesus they kept on and on about the color of her anus and pussy. I think I may need to read some Nora Roberts to give myself a smut break. Lately this shit is getting on my nerves more than reading as hot to me. And yeah the sex was hot in the story at times. At other times it was filler.

I don’t know. I seem to be in the minority here, but I loved this book. I don’t agree with any of the negative reviews below, but to each their own.

In the werewolf universe I imagine it would be terrifying to not be an Omega. Omega’s are mostly loved by their Alphas unless you are dealing with an *sshole Alpha(s) that just likes to cause pain.

In this book we follow Breanna, who doesn’t have a scent. She was not completely werewolf and was part human. She was on the run from an abusive father and trying to help her aunt escape from the pack she was in.

Breanna meets a pack that hires her to be their maid. They all quickly become infatuated with her, and her with them, and the story quickly turns from being a maid to lots and lots and lots of juicy scenes.

I suggest not going into this book with expectations. It’s about werewolves. They aren’t real. There is not a right and wrong way to write about a made up thing. Just enjoy Layla Sparks’ mind and what came out of it!

I definitely recommend this to anyone who just loves to read and explore lands you’ll never visit because they only exist in between the pages of a book.

great omega read

This book moves at a very fast pace and is steamy AF, lots of knotting and pack bedroom antics.
The background story was intense, lightly suspenseful.
Overall a great quick read

Maid for the Alphas

Really this was like a 1.5 but whatever. There was spice but the whole writing was that of teenager. Because the writing was fairly juvenile, it took away from the story.

I really wanted to love this one, but it just didn’t work for me.

The wording and phrasing throughout the book felt awkward and distracting I kept finding myself pulled out of the story instead of drawn into it. The storyline itself left me confused more often than not, like things weren’t fully fleshed out or didn’t flow smoothly.

On the plus side, the smut was steamy and definitely delivered some heat. But even then, parts of it felt a little copy and paste, like I’d read the exact same scene before a few chapters over.

Overall, it had potential, but the execution just wasn’t strong enough to keep me fully invested.

All sex, no plot 🤣 this was my first smutty book and it was A LOT. I cringed frequently. The pace is way too quick and switches from one event to the next in a few sentences. Real hectic 🥴
